[Such a smile she gets at the nickname. Rosamund accepts the bowl in two delicate hands.]
Thank you. [Said with her whole heart. Something about the immediate fondness both in gesture and words have warmed her better than any hearth could have. It's a salve after a long morning of mounting dread. And it doesn't appear to be duplicitous either. She doesn't think. It won't be a repeat of the old woman and the spindle. Rosamund was the one who insisted on a bowl, Rosamund got to pick the flavour. Yae Miko wasn't trying to push anything onto her. No curses this time. No hundred years of sleep.
With a dainty dose atop a darling pink spoon, Rosamund takes her first taste. The flavours burst within her mouth, tangy and sweet and loud, delightful.
She opens her eyes. At first all seems well. She looks straight at the other woman, still beaming bright. Then suddenly, her pupils surge, swallowing the blue of her eyes. Rosamund gasps. She drops spoon and bowl alike.]
Why — it's you! [She snatches Yae Miko's hands, breathless and bedazzled.] You're the one I've been looking for!
